Mark Schreiner of the Star-News in Wilmington, N.C., analyzed disclosure reports and found that state Rep. Thomas Wright failed to account for over $119,000 in campaign contributions since 1992. "Election officials said an unintentional omission would not draw a penalty if corrected, but there is the possibility of criminal charges if contributions were not disclosed intentionally." Wright's re-election campaign is currently under criminal investigation by the state elections board.
